Australian
Feminists for Animal Rights seeks to raise the consciousness of the
feminist community, the animal rights community, and the general public
regarding the connections between the objectification, exploitation, and
abuse of both women and animals in patriarchal society.

As ecofeminists,
we also are concerned about cultural and racial injustice and the devaluation
and destruction of nature and the earth. We view the cultural construct
of patriarchy (as distinct from the biological fact of maleness) as a
system of hierarchical domination, a system that works for the powerful
against the powerless.
